One of my biggest regrets in the realm of the resale dimension is that I did not start using amazon’s FBA program sooner.  Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.  In this video I am touching on 5 reasons that YOU! Yes you, need to start to utilize amazon FBA. Do not wait any longer because you are passing up an opportunity to make another stream of income and to move products that you find and develop over the course of your resale business.  If you have not dabbled in amazon at all, or just have merchant fulfilled a few things, this video is geared specifically to you. If you have already started or intermediately learned FBA then this video should just enhance your attitude and thankfulness for the platform and opportunity.   

  

 1. Diversity.
Putting “all your eggs in one basket” provides a lot more risk than if you were to diversify your platforms. The wealthy are smart, some investments go into stocks, bonds, currency, gold or other commodities, real estate, etc. They diversify to spread out the risk. It also provides more opportunity to grow your wealth. This same principle is applied here

    2. Prime Buyers
These are the loyal amazon prime members that buy only from, or at least prefer prime listings. They do not mind paying more for an item compared to eBay, or merchant fulfilled listings because they know the value of the Prime service. Fast shipping, hassle free returns, and top notch customer service. By using the FBA platform you unlock into these buyers and businesses that only buy prime.

      3.  Subsidized Shipping 
If you have shipped anything large (10 lbs or over) in the past then you know how expensive shipping can get. By Amazon being one of if not UPS largest contract client that gigantic contract price gets passed down to us FBA sellers. Usually it will cost 50 cents up to $1 a pound depending on what fulfillment center it is going to.  Huge discount plus bulk item shipping (multiple items in one box) makes it extremely desirable as a reseller.

    4. Scalability
Growing your sales can be bottle necked by many factors. For instance how many items can you pack and ship in a day? How much volume of inventory can you store without your house looking like a dump? By using the FBA program you can get rid of some of these limiting factors in order to grow your sales by essentially hiring Amazon to work for you for an great wage that is built in to the fee structure.

   5.  Removes the Clutter
This speaks for itself. With other selling platforms you must keep the inventory on hand. This can get out of control depending on your living situation, and personal organization styles.  By amazon organizing and storing your products, it frees up so much roommate be able to breathe and not get nagged at by loved ones. Who likes getting nagged at?
